I agree. I think neurological diseases are very scary.

My father had ALS, @Biba_yu. I don't recall that he had any twitching whatsoever. The one and only symptom was progressive muscle weakness, which started at his extremities and worked inwards.

I am so sorry to hear that. Neurological diseases are horrible, especially since they rob you of movement or your ming, and a lot of them are deadly and totally incurable.
I have a raging fear eveer since I saw a movie about woman who got als and it was maybe 15 years ago. It got me so hard. Now I have twitches everywhere and probably subjective slight weakness, and my mind can't stop the fears. I do not know what to do anymore, this anxiety is ruining my life.
